| In answer 10 question twO, you say The
Old Testament scriptures recognize tbs
capabiity and natural right OF women 10
| rule, etc, and The New Testament scrip
| turrs exalt women 20 absolute equality With
/ men" etc. all of which you know. or
should know. to be absolutely false. The
| only woman ruler" whom Israel ever had
was Deborah, aud she could rot perform all
| of the duties Of ruler. As 10 cspabsity
etc. Isaiah III. y says Ia speaking OF the
| sin aud degradation of Israel. As for my
| people. children are their cppressors. aud
| women rule over them. Oh. my people,
they which lead thee cause thee TO err. !"
| etc.
| You might think ofthst occasionally as
| sOr, Of tonic There IL no instance OF q
woman ruler, in the new testament. The
remainder of your answer 10 question two
is not worth answering.
| IN answer 10 your ltIftts ESs@Ilthk tue

upon the citizen. you say they are ''yoting

1 and executes law ,enforces penalty serves as
| Juror, bears arms etc. He is man. Wo-
man. because she Is woman, has other and
altogether different lines OF duty, which
man can't perform. Woman can't be wo-

zen," she must expect, in Justice. 10 become
| responsible in Law. equally with the msn
| for the support of the family. for her nus
bands debt, as he is now for hers. etc. Is
| she willing?
In answer Eve, ycu say. among other
| things, that she IS held responsible for her
own sovereign acts She was not 80 in the
| Old Testament law. See numbers XXX.
| You farther say, in every well ordered fam
| ily the mother is co-sovereign with the
/ father You might Just as well say that IL
| well ordered states, the Lieutenant Gov
ernor is co-ruler with the Governor, or the
Vice President with the President. the
| Queen with the King. etc. God makes her
| subordinate with her husband, the father.
| Thus saith the Lord: Likewise ye wives.
be in subsection to your own husbands"
etc.-i Peter iii; 1.
Wires, submit yourselves to your own
| husbands a unto the Lord, for the husband
| is the head OF the wife. even as Christ is the
head of the church.

Christ, so let toe wives be TO their own hus.

1t Is a pity the Almighty didn't know
your idea OF well ordered family" SO that
He might have ruled accordingly VIII

As to the last part OF answer FIVE, facts
don't sustain your assertions Just in pro-
portion as women have meidled in govern
| M ntai affairs have governments been rot
ten and corrupt. and YOU know that such IS
the teaching Of history. The most horrible
| governments Of earth have been the Two
| prominent cases Of enffanchised women,
W.: France during the first revolution, and
| Mormon Utah.
In answer six you say IL is our duty 10
Gods word. aud then you teach is disobe-
| dience.
Coming to twelve you admit that Cod
wants women 10 be subject 10 their bus
